I made a vbscript file that changes the install type from 2 to 6. I implemented this in our logon script to make the changes and it worked very well. I have copied the script below. Copy it to a notepad file and rename it to whatever you wish .vbs:<br /><br />Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")<br /><br />If objFSO.FileExists("C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\notes.ini") Then<br /><br />Const ForReading = 1<br />Const ForWriting = 2<br /><br />Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")<br />Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\notes.ini", ForReading) ' Read the file for "InstallType =2"<br /><br /> strText = objFile.ReadAll<br /> objFile.Close<br /><br /> If InStr(strText, "InstallType=6") Then<br /> blnFound = True<br /> If blnFound Then<br /> End If<br /> WScript.quit<br /> else<br /><br /> strNewText = Replace(strText, "InstallType=2", "InstallType=6")<br /><br /> Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\notes.ini", ForWriting) ' "Writes new InstallType"<br /> objFile.WriteLine strNewText<br /> objFile.Close<br /><br /> MsgBox "Modification of your Lotus Notes Configuration file has been made in preparation for the upcoming Lotus Notes Upgrade.
